Although the quantum potential is often discussed in the context of non-relativistic particles [1]}, it is similarly crucial for quantum field theory as well (see e.g., [2]}[3]}[4]}). In the ED approach to the quantum theory of scalar fields [5]}[6]} there have thus been a couple of arguments used to suggest the inclusion of the quantum potential; either based on the notion of “osmotic" velocities [5]}, or information geometry [6]}. Unfortunately, however, in both of these cases the quantum potential has not so much been derived, but motivated based on heuristic reasoning. A more desirable direction, of course, is to extend the rigorous geometric approach of Caticha [9]} to the domain of fields, something which will be the focus of forthcoming work, but is not included here.
